{Excerpts loosely taken from Triathlete Magazine. October 2014. page 98:Roch Frey, one of the Kona Underpants Run Organizers is "flying in a representative from Guinness World Records to verify the head count..... The skinny on skivvies: "I've talked to the people at Guinness, and underpants could be a pair of Speedos or bikini bottoms." Frey explains, "As long as they're underpants-type looking, and the women have a top on of some sort, we're good to go. The only people who wouldn't qualify are those who are wearing a costume. And you have to be in your own pair of underpants-no shared underpants in 86 inch size."

Note: YOU must be registered. Each runner will be chip timed for verification purposes. Register here: www.underpantsrun.org/
